From the largest school districts in the U.S. to regional public health organizations, thank you to everyone who joined us to discuss the future of peer-led prevention last week during our webinar!

We know that peer-led learning isn’t just an innovative concept; it’s backed by substantial research. After two years of co-developing and piloting our CATCH My Breath 'Students-Teach-Students' model with Eastern Idaho Public Health, our own results echo that research.

If empowering your high school students to lead peer prevention sounds like a strategy you'd like to explore, dive into our webinar recording and accompanying resources to get started.
